Warband History
Notable Campaigns
- Eydolim Campaign (Unknown Date.M41) - The Sons of Damnation were among the murderous alliance of Chaos Space Marines that served the Daemon Prince Kor Megron in assailing the world of Eydolim and other nearby worlds. This particular Chaos campaign was unusual, in that such overwhelming assaults and universal cooperation is normally the province of a Black Crusade. This speaks volumes of Kor Maegron's powers of being able to manipulate so many disparate Chaos Space Marine warbands to do his bidding. All together there was more than 200 Chaos Space Marines from the Word Bearers present in the final assault on Eydolim. The Foresworn were the spear tip of the Chaos Space Marine assault, focusing their offensive against the main temple, while the Sons of Damnation carved a bloody path towards the heart of the Imperial lines.
Warband Appearance
Warband Colours
Like their forebears, the Word Bearers, the Sons of Damnation wear the same colour of spilt blood, a colour often called "Traitor's Red" or "Betrayer's Red," sometimes worn with black or silver trim. Heretical prayers are inscribed directly into the surface of their armour. Often times Sons of Damantion Marines are also seen wearing devotional prayer sheets hanging from their armour's shoulder plates -- the blasphemous words of the Book of Lorgar inscribed upon them.
Warband Badge
This warband typically adopts the symbol of the Word Bearers Legion, the Latros Sacrum, a stylised representation of a roaring, horned daemon's head wreathed in flames, which represented all that the XVII Legion stood for, all that they believed in so deeply and all that they were willing to kill for.
